40th Anniversary floor mats question

[wrxFTWdey]

Hello everyone, Happy New Year and I hope everyone enjoyed the Holidays.
I recently received some floor mats from a family friend of mine. He used to own a 97 40th anniversary edition LC back in the day. He bought it new from the dealer, but the vehicle was totaled a couple years back. He still had some floor mats laying around and he gave them to me after I purchased my 80.

My question is, should I used the floor mats in my 80? They are brand new and I would feel guilty putting my clay filled, muddy ass boots on top of them like I currently do with my all weather mats. Are these mats sought after by people? I'm on the fence whether I should use them or just store them. Thanks for everyones input in advance.

I'd sell 'em to someone doing a resto job.

I'm sitting on a NIB black pearl tailgate badge that my 80 doesn't deserve.

Those are unicorn status parts for the restorations that'll be getting more common in the next few years.

If yours isn't a cream puff which it doesn't sound like it is since you put your muddy boots in it, sell em. I have all weather mats in mine and I don't even get them very dirty. We even left the all weather mats in the wife's car and put the nice carpet mats in storage, especially with kids and all.

They'll be a tough sell because they'll only fit a 40th. I'll be a good bud and unburden you of that garbage if you pay for the shipping to get them to me.

Mine are sitting in a box in the garage. Don't plan on using them to just get them nasty. Have weathertechs in now...

What does a black pearl badge look like?

I'm interested if you want to sell them.

Save them. Get some aftermarket husky or weathertech mats, or if you want carpet, you can find 'plain' OEM mats in the classifieds. These are rare and someone will be happy to pay top dollar for them.

Who is the guy down in florida and restored a 40th? Like the most ridiculous restoration of an 80 you’ve ever seen. I guarantee he’d buy them.

Probably @citadel
I sent him my old 40th mats so he could see if he could get them reproduced at the time, but who knows, he might be interested.

Yep. It was @citadel but he sold his 40th. Man, after all of that work!

Sorry for highjack. His sale post said something about choosing one car over another. I wonder what he decided to keep.

Better be a 40,45,55,60,62,or 7x.

I think it was more a "Camaro/Chevelle or Ferrari" -type thing. Not a 'Yota.

And I think he did fine @ $30K++ / doubt he lost much if any money on that.
It had some 185K+ on it.

Lame.

Lame.

If everyone wanted (followed through & bought, specifically) - none of us jokers could get/keep ours.

The Gen X kids who drooled over the 1988-1991 BMW M3 got priced out of the market 2-3 years ago when a ton of European dudes all 'repatriated' a ton. The price literally doubled in ~6mo, then still creeps up.
They only made some 15K of them, 5500 came here.

Europe is a place cars go to rust, so imagine being a Limey/Swede/Kraut, etc & getting hands on a Cali E30M3. It was the winningest DTM car, ever.

I loooooove all the people that bit*h about 11mpg, or whatever - every time gas $$ spiked in the Obama yrs we saw 80 prices dip. Loved it.

Whatever happened to the 40th Anniversary Edition floor mats? Do you still have them?
